performance
Manchester College’s Mock Trial Team
lost its bid to the nationals in a tie-breaker, but sophomore Baana Veen
of Osceola, Ind., captured the “Outstanding Witness” award Feb. 5-6 at
the Notre Dame Regional Mock Trial Tournament.
Manchester College ended the
tournament 4-4, with judges commenting the team was in the top tier of
teams they had judged. Moving on to the American Mock Trial
Association’s national championships in Des Moines on April 7-10 was the
winner of the tie-breaker, a Notre Dame team.
Other members of MC’s Mock Trial
Team are sophomore Ashley Davis of Logansport, Ind.; sophomore Stacey
Carmichael of South Bend; junior James Blake Hike of Syracuse; junior
Steve Case of St. Joe, Ind.; junior David Tracey of Auburn, Ind.; junior
Scott Harding of Shelbyville, Ind., and senior Tippawan Chukrachang of
Thailand.
Members of MC's Pre-Law Club
participate in mock trial competitions to gain valuable experience and
insights into the practice of law. Traditionally, Manchester College
does exceptionally well at the regionals, pitted against much larger
universities.
MC also has a strong tradition of
training students for law school, with 100 percent of its applicants
gaining admission to law school over the past five years. For more about
